Fleeced
Generations battle in a tug of war. Somewhere, a girl chooses between being a name or a number. Avatars strive towards the end of their video game. A boy struggles to get served at an off licence. Stories emerge and overlap in this energetic dark comedy exploring our identities and how we construct them, as part of a flock that feel Fleeced.​
​
Fleeced is a 1 hour long play, first developed with The Redbridge Youth Theatre Workshop.​
Professionally performed at The Redbridge Drama Centre (2017), Bread and Roses Theatre (2018) and Space Arts Centre (2018)
